Spurs’ Gareth Bale teaches Liverpool’s dumb foreigner Luis Suarez the Great British dive
WHEN Tottenham Hotspur’s star Gareth Bale earned a yellow card for a dive against Inter Milan, he protested his innocence. He is no Luis Suarez. The Liverpool striker admitted that he had dived to win a penalty at Stoke.
The dye was cast. Luis Suarez is a cheat. He’s such a massive cheat that the Sun called him “Armstrong MKII”. Not in reference to gravity-defying Neil Armstrong, the first man on the moon, rather Lance Armstrong, that cheat of cheats.
Both Bale and Saurez cheat when they dive. But only one of them is vilified in the British press. Is it the swarthy Uruguayan? Or is it the Welsh lad? Take a guess.
The likeable Welsh lad’s yellow cards against Inter was his sixth yellow card for diving in the past 15 months. This season he has four, so far.
Suarez has three in total. He has one this season. (Although he wasn’t booked for the dive against Stoke.)
In season 2011/12, Suarez earned one yellow card for diving. Bale got two. Other Premier League players who got one yellow for diving season include: Andy Carroll, Grant Holt, Samir Carruthers, Simon Cox and Darren Pratley. But Suarez became a bigger cheat than any of them.
And his manager is not that displeased that Bale cheats. Andre Villas-Boas, who shares the same initial as Bale’s newborn daughter, says the yellow awarded against Inter is good:
“He was at risk of being suspended if he received another yellow card. We now have him clean of problems for the last eight if we go through. To be fair, probably with this result, we would have asked for him to get a yellow card to get clean and be ready for the last eight.”
Cheating is fine when you’re Bale. Never mind just playing the game. Cheating is good.
If you want to find inconsistency, look at Gary Neville. He wrote:
And as I’ve watched the debate on Luis Suarez gather momentum, I detect a rush to judge a footballer, to castigate him without any thought to how different his life experiences are. Though Suarez is 25, he has been in England for only two years. He’s still adjusting. This is a kid who grew up playing football on the streets in Uruguay, who has experiences and a background completely different from anyone reading this newspaper.
Suarez dives because he has not adjusted to the culture. He dives because he’s foreign.
And here’s Neville on Bale’s diving:
“If you are disgusted by Bale diving, go sing in the choir, go play the violin, or play the recorder.”
But don’t go to Uruguay, where virtuoso violin playing is done with a stereo…

Forget the Bale v Suarez for a second!
This simply has come down to Ferguson!
He is the one who had put a target on Suarez’s back from day one and for this I assume he was in Ferguson’s eyes a threat when in the first game v UTD, Liverpool beat them 3:1 at Anfield and Suarez played an outstanding game!
They simply had no answer to his movement therefore slowing him down by branding him a cheat to throw him and Liverpool off!
And of course it has worked!

Bale goes down when theres contact, only once did he anticipate and go down with no contact and was rightly booked, his other bookings were harsh, some totally wrong. suarez on the other hand goes down under no contact and gets in refs faces about it, waves for yellow cards and he also did that hand ball in the world cup and again the handball mentioned in this article. suarez is a despicable human being, bale is a nice guy. thats the difference and thats why suarez is armstrong two and bale is the golden boy

what can you do? let them get on with it… support Suarez through and through. Their just jealous that he plays for the red men and not their shitty little teams.. Add Sturridge and Coutinho are squad is looking kind of decent!
Oh and whats really pathetic is how the likes of Arsenal, Spurs , Chelsea and Everton are battling it out for 2nd,3rd,4th and 5th place. It’s embarrassing that their fans are happy with that and they say we arnt famous any more? They aint been famous in the first place.
Man United are the only winners this season.

Writing Suarez is a cheat comes from evetything else but diving.
His CV includes
Handball
Biting oponents
Kicking
Rugbytackles
Elbows
Protest on every decission against him.
Constantly swearing towards officials
Rasism
++++

There is a major difference. While Bale plays with a grin on his face, Suarez uses all his energy on trying to cheat the ref. Every single decission that goes against him and Liverpool makes him scream and protest against the ref, linesman or 4th Official. Suarez not only dives, he handballs, kick oponents, stick fingers in their eyes, rugby tacle them, elbows, and bite them…
He is always in the refs face with sarcastic applauds or telling them to “fu%& off” with hand gestures…
This is a major factor in the Suarez agenda.
